PowerEdge R570 Server
The Dell PowerEdge R570 is the 17th-generation single-socket 2U — Intel Xeon 6 efficiency cores with room for storage, built for scale-out and data-pipeline workloads.
Dell PowerEdge R570 Server - Versatile 2U Rack Server for Modern Business Workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R570 is a versatile 2U rack server designed for businesses that need strong single-socket performance, scalable DDR5 memory, flexible storage, and dependable enterprise operation in a balanced rackmount platform. Built as part of Dell’s PowerEdge server family, the R570 is well suited for virtualization, medium-density virtual machines, scale-out databases, software-defined storage, business applications, data services, and general infrastructure workloads. With support for Intel Xeon 6 processors, high-speed DDR5 memory, redundant power supplies, and a wide range of front-bay storage configurations, the PowerEdge R570 provides a modern foundation for growing IT environments.
Balanced 2U Rackmount Design
The Dell PowerEdge R570 features a 2U rackmount chassis designed to provide a practical balance of compute performance, storage flexibility, expansion capability, and serviceability. Its 2U form factor gives businesses more room for drive bays, airflow, power supplies, and internal configuration options compared to many compact 1U platforms, while still fitting efficiently into standard server racks. This makes the R570 a strong choice for organizations that need reliable rack server performance for virtualization, application hosting, local storage, data services, and production business workloads.
Processor and Performance
At the core of the Dell PowerEdge R570 is support for one Intel Xeon 6 processor, giving businesses access to modern compute performance in an efficient single-socket platform. The R570 can support Intel Xeon 6 E-core processors with up to 144 cores or Intel Xeon 6 P-core processors with up to 86 cores when configured with the R1S option. This flexibility allows businesses to choose between high core-count efficiency for scale-out workloads or performance-core configurations for applications that benefit from stronger per-core performance. The R570 is a strong fit for virtualization, databases, VDI, software-defined storage, web services, business applications, and data-driven workloads.
Modern DDR5 Memory
The PowerEdge R570 supports 16 DDR5 DIMM slots with memory speeds up to 6400 MT/s, giving businesses a modern memory platform for demanding applications. Intel Xeon 6 E-core configurations support up to 1TB of RDIMM memory, while Intel Xeon 6 P-core configurations with the R1S option support up to 4TB of RDIMM memory depending on the final configuration. This memory scalability makes the R570 well suited for virtualization, database workloads, analytics, caching, software-defined storage, and other applications that benefit from fast, reliable system memory.
Flexible Storage Options
The Dell PowerEdge R570 offers flexible front storage configurations designed to support both performance-focused and capacity-focused workloads. Depending on the selected chassis and backplane, the R570 can support up to 12x 3.5-inch SATA hard drives plus 4x EDSFF E3.S Gen5 NVMe drives, up to 8x 2.5-inch NVMe drives, up to 8x 2.5-inch SATA drives, or other 2.5-inch universal storage configurations. This flexibility allows businesses to configure the system for high-capacity bulk storage, high-speed NVMe performance, SSD-based application storage, virtualization datastores, backup repositories, or mixed storage environments. Compatible Dell PERC RAID, HBA, and boot storage options can further support redundancy, performance, and data protection.
Expansion and Connectivity
The PowerEdge R570 provides expansion capability for businesses that need flexible networking, storage control, or other compatible PCIe-based options. Depending on configuration, the system can be built with upgraded network adapters, RAID controllers, HBAs, and other I/O options to match the needs of the workload. This makes the R570 a practical platform for businesses that need a 2U server capable of adapting to changing infrastructure requirements, including faster networking, improved storage performance, or additional connectivity.
Advanced Remote Management with iDRAC
Dell PowerEdge servers are designed with remote management in mind, and the PowerEdge R570 supports Dell iDRAC management for monitoring, updating, troubleshooting, and managing the server remotely. iDRAC helps reduce hands-on maintenance, improve system visibility, and simplify lifecycle management for IT teams, managed service providers, and distributed environments. Remote management support is especially valuable for branch offices, data centers, managed service deployments, and environments where physical access to the server may be limited.
Security and Reliability
The Dell PowerEdge R570 includes PowerEdge security and reliability features designed to help protect system integrity, firmware, and business data. Secure management options, signed firmware protections, trusted platform features, and Dell server engineering help support dependable operation for business-critical workloads. Combined with redundant AC or DC power supply options and efficient cooling, the R570 is built to support reliable operation in professional IT environments.
Ideal Use Cases
The Dell PowerEdge R570 is best suited for:
- Virtualization: A strong platform for VMware, Hyper-V, and other virtualization environments when configured with the appropriate CPU, memory, and storage.
- Medium-Density VMs and VDI: High core-count processor options and DDR5 memory make the R570 a practical choice for virtual desktop and VM consolidation workloads.
- Scale-Out Databases: Modern compute, fast memory, and flexible storage options make the R570 useful for database environments that scale across multiple systems.
- Software-Defined Storage: Flexible drive configurations and NVMe support make the R570 a strong candidate for storage nodes and distributed storage platforms.
- Business Applications: Well suited for core business software, internal tools, web services, and production application hosting.
- Backup and Local Storage: Large form factor and small form factor storage options make the R570 useful for backup, retention, and general storage workloads.
